Is this going to be a street, race/track bike or both? I was a little confused since you ordered the fairing with no headlight hole, were planning on AM22/23 track tires, and were thinking about which class to race it in, but you installed Motogadget switches on the left bar, presumably for lights, signals, horn. Of course you can do both.
I think polished metal looks spectacular for a road or show bike, versus a track bike that may get scratches or scuffs from leathers, where the matte finish might be more appropriate. It's a matter of taste in the end though.
What are your plans for the motor?
Also, what's the name of your shop? I saw cars in the workspace, so I presume it's primarily automotive.
I’m actually a little confused also. When this all started it was a CR for the street. However like most long term projects my direction has shifted. The plan at the moment is a street legal race bike. When I wrecked the original bike the frame was salvaged. I did not want a rebuilt title. So I sourced a new frame, no title and out of the system. So the bike will require inspection when completed. Hence the switches, the bike will be inspected with all functioning lighting, no fairing.
Then the fairing will go back on with no lighting. It will primarily be used as a race bike. With the option of street use if wanted. I’m planing on going after the AMA MPS-CG in 2021 at Bonneville.
I’ve decided on a matte finish, with clear powder coat. The engine is coming from BenelliSEI, I will change the pistons, 12.1 + 1 from CycleX. Keeping it at 750cc for the record attempt.
I’m not working at the moment. Still in and out of the shop for my own pleasure. Just not enough work with everything going on to keep the shop open. I’ve been with FixCarNow for 12 years, funny name I know but we are well respected. I’m the lead technician of 3 locations. I started at Audi, I still specialize in European cars.
